If I am diabetic and need insulin, I wouldn't expect Target to provide it just because I need it to do my job. Obviously a different situation and you may find stores that do provide tissues/sanitizer as part of their normal process, however I wouldn't depend on my job to provide that...

Medical LOA has better options in terms of job protection and potentially being paid, but you have to submit paperwork from your doctor. Sounds like your therapist (if a doctor) will support it, so I personally would go that route. Medical requests go through Leave Pro/ Target's Leave and...

The system moves your team member number to inactive when you leave Target, so it won't work for a discount.

The chances are very low. Even if you got an offer, HR would be notified that you were fired for theft and they would likely take back the offer.

It probably isn't your store leaders who did it. I think there is an automatic process for terminating anyone who hasn't worked in 6 months who is On Demand.

Yes, you want to ask about intermittent FMLA for the care of a family member. The leave and benefits team should be able to help. You will need to provide documentation to support your need, but that isn't very hard.

There's a team at headquarters that handles all unemployment claims. Ultimately it is up to your state whether benefits are approved- Target just provides information about why you no longer work there (or are getting fewer hours, if that's why you are filing).

I honestly am not 100% sure about when someone initially is eligible (like when you first start with the company). I just know that other benefits are determined on a yearly basis in January for existing team members. So if I had been employed for 5 years and in January had enough hours to...

I could be wrong, but it likely goes based on the benefit year which starts at the beginning of April. HROC would know for sure though.

I'm pretty sure that vacation eligibility is figured out at the same time that other benefit eligibility is assessed (when you are first eligible and then at the beginning of every year). Then, once you are eligible for the year, you earn a certain portion of an hour per hour worked (see the...

If you log into Workday, there is an announcement about the program to get it free. It walks you through how it works if you have a Shipt membership, among other things.

From what I've seen in at least a couple of these stores, they are downright dangerous for the employees at times. It sucks, but I don't know that there was a better solution.

"GU" stands for gross up- in other words, Target is paying the taxes on the money. Best guess is she got a $50 bonus and $20 of it was to pay for the taxes. Maybe she won the attendance contest?

Call the benefits number. I think getting other coverage is a qualifying event that lets you cancel your insurance outside the normal period.

Anything you already get your discount on. Things like gift cards are excluded from discounts. Not sure about anything else
